Have City Grips on my Agility City 125, they have 20500km and are down to the wear marks. Good tires.
I liked them so much that I ordered a new pair a few days ago.
Haven't tried the Avons.

My votes on the City Grips.

Just like everybody else...City Grips.
On my former S200 I took 'em through the dragon, I rode them through a flash flood, & up a "mountain" on a winding road with the rain so heavy I couldn't see 5' ahead of me.
They work great in the dry too, & wear pretty good. Have 'em on my HD200 too.

I went with the Pirelli Angel scooter tire.
Thanks Andy

From somebody who has put a few miles on Avon Vyper Strykes, there's a lot of better tyres out there for the money and they'd be right at the bottom of my list to fit.
Keeping in mind I don't know if any of these are available in your size;
~ I've used Michelin Street Pilots a lot and have been happy with the performance
~ Any tyres I've had from Metzeler have been perfectly acceptable
~ When I was a courier I was using Heidenau K66s for winter work (all-weather, but very fast wearing) and Michelin Street Pilots for summer work.
~ Early on in my bike riding life I used Duros a lot - hard wearing and nice chunky tread (HF903?) for scooters. I can't really remember much about them, but I'm going to go back to them fairly soon I think to try again.
~ Anything by IRC - wouldn't touch again with a barge pole
~ Anything by Maxxis? See Michelin Street Pilot, I liked these a lot too
~ Conti-go (Twists?) seemed nice and sticky but I didn't have them very long, which I regret now.
Anyway, hope this is of use to somebody and not just a rant... I've tried to keep it scooter-specific.

Just as almost everyone else has said, City Grips. I run those on my PCX, and have never had a problem.

I don't know - those Avons have a pretty cool name, although I ride on City Grips.

The Avon Viper Stryke I put on the back of the DT wore out faster than the Maxxis.

Mine wore out extremely fast too. It was a gonner in about 3500 miles if I remember rightly.

Had ~6k on my City Grips & still going strong, even the rear. Same deal on my HD200, ~6k miles on the CG's & going strong.
Best tire for the class in my opinion. I've bought three sets of 'em for three bikes, & have no regrets.
